It is possible to use an Arduino for High Voltage Parallel Programming to recover your AVR, but that’s another hack in itself. We use an AVR Dragon for pretty much everything. But the STK500 is a very ...

SEBASTOPOL, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 6, 2014) - If you've been designing with Arduino and love it, you're ready to love the hardware that improves performance and increases your design options. Atmel's ...

The Arduino ecosystem is an amazing learning tool, but even those of us who love it admit that even the simplified C Arduino uses isn’t the ideal teaching language. Those of us who remember learning ...

Not just for nerds, anyone with an interest in electronics, computers, or engineering can build a circuit to blink an LED or read a temperature sensor. The NerdKit will walk you through building the ...

For this project I use Atmega328P which is an old but lovely microcontroller used in Arduino Uno. Keep in mind that Atmega328P is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS and we are going to use it only to ...

The highly popular ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers (formerly from Atmel, now from Microchip) are based on the 8-bit AVR microcontroller architecture. Let's consider some of the reasons to learn and ...

RPM Systems Corporation (Redmond, Washington U.S.A.) today announces programming support for Atmel’s AVR AT Xmega family of microcontrollers. Available immediately, the MPQ-AVR programmer provides ...

I am enjoying reading John Morton’s 2002 book ‘AVR and introductory course’, published by Newnes. It is a book on creating software rather than hardware. and paced just the right for me – someone who ...
